My students often ask me what is the best way to ensure success in their dog’s training. In my experience, the students who seem to be the most successful are those who find ways to integrate the lessons they teach their dog into their lifestyle. This ensures the dog is getting regular practice in real life situations, and the message is very consistent.

My recent article, The Easiest Way to Train Your Dog, was published on DogTV’s blog and has some simple suggestions for reinforcing the great behaviors your dog is probably already doing during the time you are already spending with her.
